I am from Florida we have bad storms and hurricanes. I now live on the Alabama coast. Been working on the beach going on over 20 years now. I will be 60 in a few months. We do not have a rise in water like Gore said many years ago. The same buildings on the beach that was there when I was a kid...

For a battery box with a 100AH lithem battery and hooked up to a few cig sockets and no inverter. When charging it from a Solar Charge Controller 40amp this one - and two 200 watt panels - Maximum power: 200W, Voltage at Pmax: 17.0V, Current at Pmax: 11.76A...

For mine, it never showed a UPS update it just arrived one day.

A Growatt 24V 3000watt system VS Victron 100/50 controlar and 3000 Watt milti plus Or maybe just the Victron 100/50 controlar and a 3000 watt inverter of some brand.

I have one SOK 100 AH on order. Maybe a week or more to go for the shipping to get here.

Here is a chart I made

This is a cell booster I have. https://www.amazon.com/weBoost-470210-Signal-Booster-Trucker/dp/B01GDZLUJ0/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=cell+phone+booster&qid=1633465566&sr=8-18 They say it is - The max draw is 15 watts 12v wired.

Yes I was confusing the low, med and high with the Eco mode. I was thinking the Eco mode was the low setting. So to charge this battery with solar what would be a good solar charger to use with it if I have two 170 watt panels? Other than some 12 volt cig sockets would I need anything else to...

The inverter would be used just when needed maybe for a coffie maker or running a TV. Do not think i would use the inverter with charge controller at the same time as the battery box and inverter will be more moble to more around from room to room or outside. Was thinking about a fuse right...

I have a - Blue Sea Systems 100 Amp Mini BusBar with 4 studs and a cover, 2315 - that will be in tomorrow. so I should get a second one then Still not sure what solar controller to get. Would this one be good for this system - EPEVER MPPT Solar Charge Controller 40A...

Is this all the right items to make this work together.? I have 4 SOK 100ah Batteries - Have them here EPEVER MPPT Solar Charge Controller 40A 150V PV Solar Panel Controller - Have it here...

Yes it says omni directional we used it in our RV we had. We had a 40 foot RV we traveled in for a Year it worked. I also still have a wifi ranger we used in the RV to. This ambulance build will not be for full time living it is our work truck and in summer we want AC in the back when parked...

What fuse amp size should go before the inverter?. I think I will go with a 3000 watt just to make sure. I have everything except the inverter and the solar controlar and the right fuses. I have a second system i built using one SOK 100ah battery I will be adding to the other three I have to...

Hi I am trying to maybe build a battery box with LiFePo4 batteries or other similar ones. This would be to run an ICECO portable freezer fridge when needed. Would be using it as a freezer for meats and fish, plus I can use a 12-volt cell car plug to charge phones if needed. Trying to see if I...

Anyone

I have been looking at making my own water heater using 12 volt power to run it. I want to get a 6 gal house water tank and then change the elament to a 12volt elament this way it all has all the hook ups and everything. The Down side is a 6 gal house water heater tank cost a lot now days over...

If I have two 100ah batteries both in their own box discharged at different amounts never connected together. Can I use say a 40 amp solar charge controller and split the output one going to each battery so I get around 20amp into each one to charge them up? This would save some money VS...

I tested that and it dose not let you enter in 200 watt panels it jumps from 175 to 215

what about a two 30amp solar controller system. How would that work to take two 24 volt side into one? Somthing

it dose seem a bit small got it in today so I ordered a 300A version if I like it I will order a second one and send this smaller one back.

If I run it on high would that not use a lot more battery power? I thought most people run them on low? If I regulated the battery would it then run on low as it id then getting the right power?

The solar panels are New powa - Max Output:200W, Current at Pmax (Imp): 11.76A, Voltage at Pmax: 17.0V. I have all six of them here all ready I got them in sets of two as I saved money up for them. The 50amp breaker I got as is says to on this page for a 40amp charge ccontroller...

I want to make a version of this, https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2020-hot-white-battery-box-for_1600072282804.html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.82.5.50aa572547OhJQ

Thanks This first box is going to be used the most to run a 12 volt fridge/freezer I have an ICECO JP50 on the way. It will also run our DC internet device that takes little power and charge a cell phone as needed. The inverter I might not even get till I build my next battery. I want to build...

Its time to buy something. Going 24Volt Looking at the Growatt VS a Victron setup. By the time i add on the victron program interface and i can buy two Growatt systems VS the one Victron setup multiplus and Solar cotroler. Is one so much better then the other or not?? What are the pros and...

Mine has not arrived yet but it is in what looks like a metal case. You could just add some sealant around the rim edge of the top of the battery box to protect it even better from water and dust from getting in.
